Hey guys, recently acquired a dct m4 and looking into the VTT gc or gc+ turbo upgrade. Just curious if there are any current owners that could give feedback on them? Ill be going e85, PI, clutches, cooling ect.
Thanks!

You'd love the GC's. Spool and power... and cost for the performance are unmatched. If you're going to stay stock motor IMO stick with regular GC's, unless of course you like pushing super hard.
Some results thus far: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1660270 |

A few years ago (2016-2017) we had some N54 turbine issues that were fully resolved quite a while ago. Ground up new turbines were sourced, GC2.0 was released, and we took care of the old customers. Current turbines are very advanced with no reported failures to date.
On this platform, there are tons of S55 GC’s in the field doing work! Turn them up and drive ‘em hard! Chris |

Can the admins do that? I'm thinking a settlement was reached with the OP and he removed it.

Highly doubt they resolved it. Chris says that it was an issue 3 years ago and nothing they could do but OP disagreed with it and showed proof Last edited by aBMWfan; 11-15-2019 at 01:58 PM.. |

Thank god nothing cause I decided to go with different brands for crankhub/ turbos. But when I was considering the VTT crankhub end of last year that’s when they had failure and then released a new version and offered the no spin guarantee. But at the end of day I’m 100% positive there would have been issues otherwise.
See the video above. They were so sure that first edition turbo was going to blow up and look what happens. This isn’t a guessing game with engine mods. Not enough testing was done |

We're enthusiasts. We love turbos and modifying cars to make them more fun to drive. This is central to VTT. Everyone is going to have some failures when pushing the envelope. That's part of the game (and that's why some guys stay stock; for the warranty). We understand this AND the desire to smile when you push the skinny pedal, which is why we put so much effort into consistently delivering products that perform and give you unmatched value for the dollar.

I will not continue to address this issue here. If someone has a concern, or wants to ask more details/figure out what happened, email me and I'm happy to start a dialog. If anyone has a VTT product that they have questions about, email me and I'll be happy to work with you. If anyone has an issue with their VTT product(s), email me and I'll do my best to make things right; even if it's a user-caused issue, we still bend over backwards to help people because we are enthusiasts (and competitors) through and through, that's central to our values, and part of what makes this job so much fun. We want the same thing. Bottom line, email me, even if just to say hi. Stay positive, Chris |

There can be some testing but no where near as vigorous as a company like bmw. There simply isn't the budget to put much time and money into R and D followed by testing. Theoretical concept to a prototype to a shop test car to limited numbers then to the customer. If you think any of the crank Hub solutions have any kind of solid proof other than theoretical then I'm afraid you are putting to much faith in them. You are in part the tester and Guinea pig whether you like it or not. |

I got a PM from another forum member who said he was looking into this video before buying and spoke to the shop FiveBar. The guy at the shop said that they were not allowed to discuss the specifics of what happened because the owner of the car had an NDA with VTT but to stay far away from Vargas products. Not sure why the guy would mention having an NDA with you guys and to stay away in the same sentence if it wasn't you guys...... sounds like it definitely was you guys.....
